History

The award was created in honour of the 1982 FIFA World Cup winning coach Enzo Bearzot of the Italy national team. He holds the record for most appearances on the bench of the Italy national team at 104 times from 27 September 1975 to 18 June 1986.[2] He died on 21 December 2010 in Milan at the age of 83, exactly 42 years after Vittorio Pozzo.[3][4][5][6]

The Enzo Bearzot Award is given each year by the president of the Italian Football Federation, at the hall of honor of the Italian National Olympic Committee.

Notes
  1. The 2020 edition was not held because of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. The award was therefore posthumously given to Paolo Rossi, who died in December 2020, even though he had not been a football manager.[17][18]
